About Me

My name is Paula. I'm a full-time mum and homemaker. I live in Staffordshire with my wonderful husband Mark and our four delightful children Tom (12 years), Lily (11 years), Emma (8 years) and little Alexander (3 years). A cosy home, good books to read, access to the countryside, tea and flowers. A little time for some needlework, a little baking, time to play my piano and my family nearby...that's me happy!
Life is good!

The heart party

Since Lily had been telling me she wanted a heart birthday party for the past six months, I had plenty of time to plan for it! The food included heart-shaped sandwiches, strawberries and raspberries (served in heart-shaped ramekins), heart fairy cakes, jelly, cocktail sausages, various children's party biscuits and some heart-shaped fruit treats I found in Tesco. To drink, we had pink lemonade, cooled with heart-shaped ice cubes. Mark was able to get home from work early so he could be there too. I could tell from Lily's face that I had got it right, though apparently there should also have been red balloons. Oh well!.

The heart-shaped fairy cakes turned out really well in the end.

As requested by the birthday girl, the cake was strawberry, chocolate and cream. I was quite pleased with how it turned out and it tasted delicious!.
